Summary
Workday has experienced a data breach due to a social engineering attack on a third-party customer relationship management (CRM) platform, although the company states that customer data remains unaffected. The breach, part of a broader campaign targeting large organizations, resulted in unauthorized access to business contact information, which attackers might use for further scams. This incident highlights the rising threat of social engineering tactics in the healthcare technology space, emphasizing the need for stronger training and awareness measures among employees to safeguard sensitive information. As attackers continue to exploit vulnerabilities in CRM systems, organizations must enhance their cybersecurity protocols to mitigate such risks.
